Lancaster Curiosity (7)

There is a path runs down the edge of Vicarage Fields. It runs very steeply and gets so steep near the bottom that steps are necessary. At first sight these steps look as though they were put there at least 200 years ago. But then this plaque gives the game away. It was last century but only just. Actually this flight of steps is recorded as "Doris's Steps." So there you have it.

I missed doing a posting yesterday. I was busy all day in the studio, framing some work for an upcoming exhibition. By the time I got home in late evening I was only fit for my bed. Today has been no different, preparing said frames but at least I got away at tea-time (sort of). There now only remains the cataloguing, labelling, hanging fixtures, statements..etc...etc...

About Me

I have been an artist since the beginning of the 1960s and retired from the day job since 2005 so I make art full time.
I make 2D work and small scultures.
I have spent time in Cyprus working with the Cyprus College of Art, usually in Larnaca and sometimes at Lempa near Paphos.
Exposure to extant art from Cyprus' mythical past has led to my exploring and comparing my own Northern European folk traditions.
